Check the umbilical cord stump of the kitten.
Female cats usually bite off the umbilical cord after giving birth. The rest will become a small piece of tissue and hang on the kitten's abdomen. The umbilical cord stump of a kitten usually scars and falls off three days after birth. If the kitten's umbilical cord is still very short, it means that it has just been born for a few days.
Check the cat's eyes.
Newborn kittens go through several stages of development, from opening their eyes to changing the color of their eyeballs. Seeing the change and color of the eyeball can help you guess the age of the kitten.
The kitten didn't open its eyes until 14 after birth. Some kittens open their eyes within 7 to 10 days after birth. If the cat's eyes are closed, it means that it has just come to this world.
If the kitten has opened its eyes, it means that it has been born for at least a week.
If the kitten's eyes have just opened and narrowed a little, it means that it is about two or three weeks old. As soon as the kitten opens her eyes, she will find that they are bright blue. With the increase of age, the blue film will gradually disappear and the eyes will return to the original color of the breed.
Extended data:
Cats judge their age by their teeth.
Adult cats have 30 teeth. The kitten has 26 teeth.
The cat's teeth from both sides to the middle are:
Upper row-molars, premolars, canine teeth, 6 incisors
Lower row-premolars, premolars, canine teeth, 6 incisors
/kloc-Teeth begin to grow in about 0/4 days.
The front teeth of 2 ~ 3 weeks old deciduous teeth are flush. At the age of nearly two months, all the deciduous teeth are long white, thin and pointed.
Replace the first deciduous tooth at 3 ~ 4 months old.
Replace the second and third deciduous incisors and canine teeth at 5 ~ 6 months.
All permanent teeth were replaced after 6 months.
Eight-month-old permanent teeth are long, white and bright, with upper cusps.
1 year-old mandibular second incisors have big spikes, which are worn to the extent of small spikes. This phenomenon is called peak wear.
The 2-year-old mandibular second incisor has lost its peak.
The 3-year-old maxillary first incisor has lost its peak.
The 4-year-old maxillary second incisor has lost its peak.
At the age of 5, the peak of the third mandibular incisor was slightly worn, and the worn surfaces of the first and second mandibular incisors were rectangular.
At the age of 5.5, the tip of the third mandibular tooth was worn out and the canine teeth were blunt and round.
The 6.5-year-old mandibular first incisor was worn to the root, and the worn surface was vertical oval.
7.5-year-old mandibular first incisors were worn forward.
8.5-year-old mandibular second and maxillary first incisors have longitudinal oval wear surfaces.
